This is a beautiful technique I learned after my year at Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Montpellier, France, 1990. I worked at Atelier Pasnic in Paris with Pierre Marie Brisson. I love deeply bit etched lines in large zinc plates, and then painting the acrylic/carborundum mix on the metal. It sticks permanently to the plate and each print appears to be painted.
The commissioned foreign money prints hang in CPR Billets, (Banque de change) on Rue Lafayette, Paris.
En Vol
29 x 41-inch etching, 1991. I was traversing the world at that time in my life and saw nothing but my dreams. Each print was started as a blank slate of varnish, no sketches or preparation, I just started drawing. I was always curious about what the tool would scrap into it!
La Vigne, I
The first of a series of six different 24 x 36-inch anthropomorphic muscat vigne prints. from Epernay, France. Printed in Paris.
